These wraps will bring joy to your mouth! Suitable for breakfast or any time of the day with fillings that can be made to suit your taste buds! Best thing is- they can be prepared earlier and devoured when ready!

Rice paper wraps are the common choice of wraps for most health goers, however considering rice is a grain, there is always going to be a sugar hit followed by an insulin spike- coconut wraps are another option.

5-8 Coconut wrap sheets- it really does depend on your own preference for size and the amount of wraps you would like.

1 cup of noodles- Choose from the pasta alternatives listed below

1 carrot

1 avocado

1/3 cucumber

1 cup fresh basil

1/2 cup coriander

5-8 kale leaves – thinly chopped and shredded

1/2 red capsicum- julienned or your choice of colour

Nut sauce:

3 garlic cloves- organic Australian minced or crushed

1 Inch of ginger- or a chunk of similar size, peeled and finely chopped - this can vary to taste.

2 tablespoons each of tamari and lime juice- again, vary to taste. Stevia to sweeten is also an option

Chilli powder

1/3 cup nut butter - I prefer macadamia, almond works too.

1/3 cup filtered water (more or less as needed)

To make the nut sauce: blend or mix together all the ingredients until smooth. If you like, sauté the garlic and ginger first to bring out more flavour. Set aside in a bowl.

To make the wraps: cut all the veggies into thin julienne strips- you can purchase a julienne slicer to make slicing your vegies a quick and easy job.

Dip your coconut wraps in warm water so they soften and become pliable (do this one at a time), then arrange your fillings in the middle. Fold over two ends, then wrap it up like a burrito, making it as tight as possible. It might take a few tries to get it perfect. Serve with the sauce and enjoy nature's fuel.

Pasta Alternatives: All of these tasty alternatives make a great filler for your coconut wraps!

Zucchini:Shredded with a peeler, zucchinis can make the perfect spaghetti replacement. They are rich in fibre, can lower cholesterol and is a lighter pasta option.

Quinoa:Quinoa is high in vitamin B's and protein, and can help your body produce bone growth. Cooked just like you would oats or rice, Quinoa makes a great alternative where ever you would use oats or rice.

Cabbage:Similar to broccoli slaw, shredded cabbage is another spaghetti alternative. Packed with vitamin B and antioxidants, cabbage also reduces cholesterol. Be careful of those powerful effects sulphur can have on the bowel!

Broccoli SlawBroccoli slaw is low in calories, high in nutrients and has many variations to suit your own dietary requirements- some with nuts, some Broccoli slaw without- some with cranberries- possibilities are endless.
